Lamp Revamp

 A few weeks ago, I purchased this lamp base for under $2, while thrifting.  I loved the shape and I couldn't believe I was getting such a good deal.  As is the gold finish isn't too bad.  But I decided this would be a fine time to try a can of ORB, that I've been hearing sooo much about on blogland. : ) Now I know why, this stuff is great!

 I purchased a drum shade at Target for less than $10.  Happy Dance!!!!  Don't cha just love Target!!!!  It was perfect for recovering.  Thanks again to Alissa for an easy tutorial.  I purchased some burlap from Hobby lobby @ 2.99 a yard.  I used bias tape to cover the edges.

Here it is all finished! I love the way it turned out.  What do you think?

    Oh, and well done for your cushion being in the csi top ten. Did you see that? It totally deserved to be. Everything you touch seems to turn to interior gold!
